    All this just to keep Epstein out of the news…

    In all seriousness though, what in the ever-loving fuck

      Epstein files, yes, but also don’t forget the oil.

        So… Tell me about the oil. I hear the cancellation of green projects and the forced operation of coal plants. But the barrel price is way down. Are they inept at cornering the fossil fuel industry? What’s happening?

          The us refineries in the south only refine tar oil like Venezuela and Canada’s.

          They’re doing this so they don’t have to do massive retrofits. It’s literally corporate interests.

          China did really well with renewable, and we didnt. So we double down on oil…

            But what’s the endgame? Dump a lot of oil on the market, crash the price, devastate the US oil industry?

              I don’t believe these guys have an endgame. They’re ignoring the crash and burn as someone else’s problem since they’re all old as hell, or are sure the money they pilfered will allow them to ride out the wave of devestation.

              The end game is the exact opposite of what GHINA did. Are you new here? There is no end game!

              Right? The usual would be to corner the market then demand a much higher price.

    U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Maduro and his wife have been indicted in the U.S. for “narco-terrorism.”

    I question whether the DoJ even actually got a grand jury to sign off on this.

    Edit: for the record here’s the indictment

      I bet it wouldn’t be hard to do, but I too have skepticism they actually did it.

    Damn. That peace prize for next year looking shaky.

    When the opposition person got the peace prize, you knew regime change was coming.

    Looks like Trump was jealous of Israel and Russia land grabbing.

    Trump could annex Canada at this point and people will call it a distraction from the Epstein files.

      Well, tbh it did occur to me this morning, not first but pretty early as the entire radio broadcast was about Venezuela, “that child-fucker will do ANYTHING to get the Epstein accusations off the front page.”

    What I want to knownis why the wife was also captur3d and now being “charged”. Did she have a formal role in the Venezuelan government?

    The fact both are being extradited seems like this was a plan to leave the country possibly negotiated with Trump, that got flipped into an arrest.

    Maybe a double cross.

      A headline I saw a couple weeks ago came to mind: “Confused by the Trump administration? Think of it as a royal family.”

      I didn’t read the article tho lol. And now I’m seeing it’s paywalled. But here it is if you’re interested: https://www.vox.com/politics/471070/trump-neoroyalism-monarchy

    americans will invade your country, kidnap your leader, install a puppet dictator, steal your riches, and then call the whole thing a distraction that doesn’t really matter (they didn’t do that when the same guy renovated a house, seemingly the house matters more to them than your country and its people)
